Free-wheeling offense gets stern test tonight By Benjamin Hochman The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 03/18/2008 12:02:55 AM MDT http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_8607625 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — During Sunday's downpour — the one inside the Pepsi Center, not outside — the free-shooting Nuggets scored 84 points in the first half against Seattle. And did so again in the second half. 如果你当时身在百事中心，那麽就如同亲身感受了什麽叫倾盆大雨， 热得冒火的金块队在对阵超音速的比赛上半场就得了84分，更恐怖的是， 他们在下半场也得到了84分。 Tonight at Detroit, they may not get to 84. 但是今晚在底特律，他们也许会全场比赛得不到84分。 "Detroit's going to be a different game, more of a possession, mentally tough game," Denver coach George Karl said. "It might not even be a 100-point game. But it doesn't matter. We've got to be good enough to win playing different ways. I think our team now, with Chucky Atkins playing, our bench is stronger and there's a versatility with how we play. And it's pretty cool." "活塞将会打出另外一种不同风格的比赛，他们更会控制比赛的节奏， 这将会是一场棘手的身心攻坚战，"总教练George Karl说。 "也许这场比赛得分不会过百。但是这不重要，我们已经做好准备通过各种不同 类型的方式去比赛。如今Chucky Atkins已经归队，我们的板凳变得更深， 并且我们的比赛打得十分精彩，这相当有意思。" Sunday was pretty cool, too. Denver broke a lot of offensive records. But the hard work — a five-game road trip that could determine whether they make the playoffs — starts tonight against Detroit (48-18). 星期一的比赛也非常有趣，丹佛打破了多项和得分有关的记录，但是接下来的 连续5个客场之旅也许会对他们能否取得季後赛起着决定性的作用， 艰苦的客场之旅今晚将会揭开序幕，他们的第一个对手是活塞(48-18)。 "This next week is probably going to define our season," Denver center Marcus Camby said. "下一个星期很有可能会决定我们这个赛季最终可以取得什麽样的成绩，" 丹佛的中锋Marcus Camby说。 Denver has lost its past 11 games at Detroit. 金块队在过去11场作客底特律的比赛中无一胜仗。 The Nuggets (40-26), trail Golden State by 1 1/2 games in the Western Conference battle for the eighth and final playoff spot. 金块队目前的战绩是40胜26负，落後与他们争夺西区季後赛最後一个名额的 金州勇士队1.5场胜差。 Entering this road trip, Denver is well-rested, coming off blowout wins against Seattle and Toronto over a weekend during which the Nuggets passed as well as they have all season. 开始这次客场之旅之前，金块队在周末主场对超音速和暴龙的比赛中打出了整个 赛季最好的传接球配合，他们均以大比分击败对手，队员们也因此得到了充足的 休息时间。 Karl continually talks about the importance of passing. His team is 19-0 when it has 29-plus assists, and 22-2 when it has more assists than its opponent. Karl不停地强调传球的重要性。当金块拿到29个以上助攻时，战绩是19-0， 当助攻比对手多的时候，战绩是22-2。 "As long as we're sharing the ball, you're going to see teams pretty much play on the perimeter," Atkins said, "and (Allen Iverson) and Melo will have enough room to work, get into the creases and the cracks to get to the basket." "只要我们更多地分享球的时候，你就会看到很多时候对手会被拉到外线，" Atkins说，"然後Allen Iverson和Melo就会有足够的空间去进攻， 他们就可以运用最好的方式去攻击篮框。" Tonight, smart passing will be a key. Pistons' opponents average just 90.33 points per game. Only Boston's opponents average fewer points. 今晚，合理的传球会成为决定比赛胜负的一个关键点。 活塞队的对手平均每场比赛只得到90.33分。 只有波士顿限制对手的平均得分比他们低。 "This is not the time to mess around," Karl said. "Every game you play is a powerfully influential game. Especially if you lose." 我们没有时间可以浪费了，"Karl说 "现在每一场比赛都是具有重量级影响力的。 特别当你输掉比赛的时候." 明天大家一起早起帮金块加油吧~~~~~ --
